Angela Peterson was always the quiet, shy kid growing up in Harper Falls, crushing on the high school quarterback and honing her football strategy skills. Now grown up and coaching the high school team, she’s shocked when that same sexy quarterback returns to Harper Falls asks her back to his hotel room. And then tries to steal her job.
Injured NFL quarterback Cade Reynolds is in Harper Falls to take over as interim head coach, and he never thought the tall, blond bombshell he propositioned would offer up any resistance. Not to a repeat of the amazingly wild night they shared and certainly not to his coaching position.
But the Harper Falls High Eagles are Angie’s team, and even the hometown hero won’t take that away from her, no matter how hot he is. As the two engage in a battle of wits and wills, this is one game neither is prepared to lose.
My Thoughts
“They say home is where the heart is. Mine is here.”
I don't know anything about football but it was the cover and the whole geeky girl meets popular guy story that made me request this on Netgalley.
Angela Peterson grew up as a shy geeky girl with the head for math and football. She had a huge crush on Cade, a popular senior quarterback football player. Sixteen years later, Angela is no longer the geeky shy girl.. She's now a gorgeous math teacher and a coach on a high school football team.
Cade Reynolds has struggled for the past few years, had a shoulder injury and kept him out of the game. Now he returned in Harper Falls as a favor to his high school coach. He has no idea that this gorgeous woman in the coffee shop is the geeky shy girl from school who told him why and how will his team get better and win the state championship.
Since I have no idea about football, I'm glad that the story is focused on Angela and Cade. I've read a lot of books from Brazen Entangled and so far Skin in the Game is my favorite. I love everything about this book, the main characters are very likeable and the story is fast paced. It's romantic, hot, light fun read! It has the right amount of angst that will not make you think or feel too hard.
This is my first book from Jackie Barbosa and I didn't realize she already released a lot of books. :) Hopefully she turn this into a series because I'm curious about Rachel and Warren! ^_^
I definitely recommend this!
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

About the Author
I can't remember a time when I didn't want to be a writer when I grew up, but there were plenty of times when I wasn't sure I ever would be. As it turns out, it just took me about twenty years longer to grow up than I expected!
On the road to publication, I took a few detours, including a stint in academia (I hold an MA in Classics from the University of Chicago and was a recipient of a Mellon Fellowship in the Humanities) and many years as a technical writer/instructional designer for a data processing company. I still hold my day job in instructional design, but my true passion is writing steamy romances-both historical and contemporary.
I learned to believe in love at first sight when I met the man of my dreams twenty years ago and to believe in happily ever after when I married him. I live in Southern California with my husband, our three children, and an ever-changing menagerie of pets.
